The government is partnering with oil marketers for the distribution of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders to low-income households after an initial programme through the National Oil Corporation of Kenya (Nock) flopped.

The State now wants to distribute 9.6 million 6kg cylinders to low-income households through licensed oil marketing companies (OMCs) under a scheme that that will see selected dealers match each cylinder supplied by the government with their own cylinder for distribution to homes.
